Relation between my weight and my work
I think everyone i’ve known has had to bear the brunt of me proclaiming that i am fat, while others seek the opportunity to mock me because of it, and its fine because i appreciate humour in the form of facts.
Sometimes i really wonder though just why i lament on it. Aside from the mockery, i think my issues were that when i was fit, i felt fresh, i felt accomplished, basically good and positive about myself. Also it probably was at the point of my life when i felt that everything i did was a new experience, a different adventure and that success from tangible results were actually availably viable.
So perhaps its with little wonder that in the current rut of a supposed career i’m stuck in, do i see my weight as an issue to tackle. I’ve never believe in dieting to an extreme, but eating in supposed moderation so as to not grow to a Jabba the Hut proportion. It’s been tough cutting back on the beer, not because i;m an alcoholic(rather far from it), but it sometimes is really just a psychological form of relaxation that puts anything that you ever worried about, just tucked away for a while.
I do not really worry what i write here because i have only 5 page views on a daily basis, so i’ll say it without any pretence.
I only came into the job because i felt it was reasonable enough to experience, the pay was good and it gave me the freedom to appreciate studies, life and everything else in between. But living in a world where success is a measure of well, success, Its hard to keep oneself motivated to move on when there really is nothing to head towards in the first place.
An incident of a total lack of respect as a human being last week left my fuming internally, and just confirmed my points and views of the limitations and intangibility of what we know as a ministry. Even now i still seethe at what happened, to be treated as just another pawn on the chessboard, an excess material that is up on a 90% sale.
Yet for all that has happened,i still feel concerned about my studies in this paper-dependent universe, that i may have to give up the freedom and excitement that i have in my current relationship.
At some point i will have to outweigh whichever works out for the better.
I thought i could subject myself to the layman’s way of a life, that i could see work-life balance as something to cherish. But if life were really that simple, i wouldn’t even have a thought to deliberate about.
how do you have motivation in a place thats void of it
I pity myself for overexamplifying the context of what i do because basically i think its pathetic.
To my solace, i vow to mildly-actively look for something else to really succeed and further myself in whilst containing myself in the cubicle overlooking the streams of tourist and unmotivated workers alike.
I just don’t want to be suckered in and mocked just because of irrelevant qualifications.
I haven’t said these words in a long time and i know that i have only myself to dig myself out of this, i know i’ve done it before and i can do it again, but sometimes one really just needs a little luck, a little saviour.
Save me.

My Beer Belly
Seriously, it feels good to have something to do everyday, waking up early for once and having a proper breakfast and the papers before heading for my first ever regular working hour kind of job.
I actually feel refreshed and not lethargic, i bother reading books and i bother to make use of my time.
Somehow i always thought that i wasn’t cut out for something like this, the hours that is. But it really is somehow great that you fight against time rather than the workload, that every event you plan doesn’t involve in you working OT and cancelling on them.
Sure this may not last my whole life, but for the meantime im gratefully granted that i’m in the situation i am in now.
It really softens the blow on other things that may not have gone right, through whatever mistakes, misendeavours on the part of different parties. Sometimes i do think about it for points at time, but i would say that im 90% over it and have much more to look forward to.
It’s another night of beer drinking tomorrow. Kudos to that relaxant that i’ve grown to love.
For Tapas.
i don’t trust myself with loving you
